This week I step into a new realm of life. A new beginning. I'm moving out of home! To an apartment, with my boyfriend Andy. It's all awfully grown-up, isn't it?
Coincidentally, at a time when standing up on my own becomes pivotal, Sarah Wilson just published a column on the power of posture, which offered this pearl of wisdom provided by mood expert Anna-Louise Bouvier:
imagine a torch extending from the centre of my chest, forward...
[on] "two feet"
[on] "two feet"
And so I have taken Anna's advice to heart... I intend to glide into my new life proudly, confidently, sturdily, with purpose and poise. And hope.
My newfound intention also slides so beautifully within my motto for life, via the wonderful Rumi:
let yourself
be silently drawn
by
the stronger pull
of that which you really love
be silently drawn
by
the stronger pull
of that which you really love
I don't think I really need to emphasise or justify the perfection those words encapsulate. Just because.
NB What with all the packing, moving and internet-lessness imminent, I may be in blogging limbo for a little while. Apologies in advance!

Well,guess what? I'm in the exact same position, waiting for my bf to come to Brussels next week, and we're gonna move in together.. that is if we ever find a cute and not-outrageously-expensive place to stay (which is kinda not happening until now). So, I wish good luck to all (4) of us :)
Let's exchange opinions on that as time goes by..
